Fujitsu U2010: Long battery life with only four cells

0

Fujitsu’s U2010 UMPC has a swivel screen, Intel Atom processor, and most of the stuff that’s on every other UMPC except, hey, what’s this? Up to nine hours of battery life with the solid state drive option or eight hours with a standard drive? Hello, Kitty.

That 8-9 hour figure comes thanks to the U2010’s “extended” battery, which happens to be just a four-cell battery. There’s a standard baby two-cell battery that’s supposed to be good for three and a half hours if you’re not into working all the live-long day.

Now, unfortunately pricing and availability aren’t yet available. Also, this little guy is being announced by Fujitsu’s Asia Pacific division, so it appears that it’ll be released there first. Fujitsu puts out a fair amount of its products in the US as well, though, so we might see this UMPC (or something like it) around here sooner or later.
